Abstract

This paper describes the very serious health and other problems caused by different kinds of mosquito in urban areas of India, and how addressing diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever requires controlling their breeding sites. It then describes how engineers rarely consider their role in mosquito control and how a series of workshops for engineers made clear this role - especially in the management of construction sites which often serve as major breeding areas.
